parameter values

pwd= password
Note Do not use these parameters if more than one local server is running, or
you may connect to the wrong server.
If more than one server is running, you need to specify which one you wish to
connect to. If only one database has been started on that server, you do not need
to specify the database name. The following connection string connects to a
named server, using the default database:
eng= server_name
uid= user_id
pwd= password
The following connection string connects to a named server, using a named
database:
eng= server_name
dbn= db_name
uid= user_id
pwd= password
For more information about default behavior, see "How Adaptive Server IQ
makes connections".
Adaptive Server IQ database utilities that communicate with the server (rather
than acting directly on database files) do so using Embedded SQL. They follow
the procedure outlined in "How Adaptive Server IQ makes connections" when
connecting to a database.
Many of the administration utilities obtain the connection parameter values by:
1 Using values specified on the command line (if there are any). For
example, the following command starts the collation utility on the sample
database on the default server, using the user ID
and the asiqdemo.col collation file:
dbcollat -c "uid=DBA;pwd=SQL;dbn=asiqdemo"
c:\temp\asiqdemo.col
and the password
